Truly Scrumptious This recipe book and history of Iraqi cuisine is one of my favourite 'portraits' of Iraq. The country's long, complex and multicultural history is brought to life in these pages, through the prism of food, as ancient and medieval tidbits, folklore, travelogues and the author's own anecdotes and observations are woven together with over four hundred recipes. The fact that the dishes are delicious is an added bonus, their subtle flavours offering a sensual flavour of this ancient Truly Scrumptious This recipe book and history of Iraqi cuisine is one of my favourite 'portraits' of Iraq.

The fact that the dishes are delicious is an added bonus, their subtle flavours offering a sensual flavour of this ancient and diverse culture. A new edition of the book was published in March 2013. I hope it does justice to the depth and range of Nawal Nasrallah's knowledge and the quality of her writing which is as enticing, abundant and generous as the meals Iraqi women love to serve their families and guests.

The only book I can compare this to is Claudia Roden's The Book of Jewish Food. This is a culinary history of Iraqi food. An incredible work of research and scholarship and cooking: history, cultural insights, stories, jokes and wonderful recipes. One to buy and enjoy for many years.

So much information and plenty of recipes. The basic recipes allow one to improvise easily to suit taste. The history is a fun bonus. I would like to own a copy for cooking reference. I'm very picky about cookbooks and this is a must have, for those who love middle-eastern cuisine. So much information and plenty of recipes.
